Young gun Danish Mohammad is being tipped for a medal at the European Schoolboy Championships in Russia, writes Ian Harrison.

The 14-year-old, who trains under legendary coach Mick Jelly at Bury ABC, has been chosen to represent England and has been sharpening up at the Gorton gym this week ahead of joining the rest of the squad.

Jelly, Amir Khan’s former coach, said: “Danish has a great chance of winning a medal in Russia, and when he gets back he can carry on his success throughout the season.”The teenager has won two national schoolboy titles and twice been a Four Nations champion.

The Junior and Senior Novice Championships' draw and weigh-in take place at the same venue on Sunday, September 30. There were a record number of entries last season with four national champions from the Greater Manchester region.

NORTHSIDE ABC had a cracking opening show at the Sporting Edge in Openshaw, with 10 bouts on the bill. Jordan Walsh (Northside) and Reece Bradford (Doncaster Plant) contested the bout of the night, with Walsh the winner on points.
